IMO Payton Manning will break every QB record one day and we will all be saying John Elway who, or Marino who, or Farve who. But back to Ramsey. I am on his bandwagon, and I can't really put into words why. Maybe because he is such an underdog and has been so physically and mentally tough for 3 years. Maybe because I want good things to happen to good people and would love to see him overachieve. I don't know, maybe he seems old school to me and I can relate to it more than I can the Terrell Owens of the world. Somebody help me here and tell me why we all all still pulling for him.

I think a lot of wanting him to do well is that he was first, and he did well enough before Brunell or Campbell even came along. We want that consistency, that guy who year in and year out we can say "this is our QB" When Brunell was brought along, I don't think people even thought about what Brunell had to offer (apparently nothing last year), they just thought "here we go again."
